FIRMING BUTTER

This patented ingredient features a viscoelastic matrix of bioactive, bioavailable and biomimetic polymers from native New Zealand Red Seaweed. The hydrating and plumping effect of red seaweed on the skin, is attributed to the various mix of versatile biomimetic sulphated gycosaminoglycans (sGAG). These natural biopolymers are known to form a fish-net like matrix that can help hold water molecules, while also acting as a structural scaffold to tighten the skin. The sGAGs from red seaweeds have structural features that resemble the “eight essential sugars” of human cells.

Our Patented Ceramide Complex is derived from organic olive oil for particular use for the body. It is based on an environmentally friendly, biotechnology-based production process, improving epidermal moisturization. The powerful combination of Ceramides and Sphingolipids, delivers lasting hydration and plumps the skin for a smooth and healthy appearance, reducing the appearance of photodamaged skin and pore size.

Red Maple Bark protects the skin against oxidative ageing, while improving skin firmness and elasticity. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles, while protecting cells against oxidation and stimulates collagen and elastin production to restore skin firmness and elasticity visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and increases skin's biomechanical properties for a younger look.

Low molecular or short-chained hyaluronic acid provides intense moisture and sustained hydration deep within the skin. It is naturally found in our skin and joints and unfortunately our levels decline as we age. Thought to hold 1000x its own weight in moisture, this wonder humectant, healer, protector and a plumping ingredient is found in sugar, drawing and holding water into the skin predominately in the dermis. Hyaluronic acid instantly plumps and hydrates the skin, improving elasticity.

Sourced from the Arctic winged kelp Alaria esculenta. It lives in extreme conditions in agitated but transparent waters where sea pressure can exceed 6T/m². It is an anti-ageing active ingredient that is a downregulator of progerin for mature skin. It is a skin protector that reverses the age effects and is made up of a web of elastic fibers, which preserves tissue integrity against compression, ensures cohesion & firmness of all the cell architecture (similar role that proteic fibers & elastin play in the Skin).

The triple antioxidant rich butters contain Vitamins A, B, C, E, Choline, B12, folic acid and high levels of lignin and antioxidants. The anti-inflammatory properties aid in healing eczema, sunburn and redness. Rich in collagen, the butters work as an emollient to soften and deeply hydrate the skin. The essential fatty acids treat wrinkles and crepey skin while its high concentrations of Vitamin A increase cell turnover, treating tissue damage. They help to treat scars and stretch marks by increasing hydration in the damaged cells.

Native to New Zealand, Mamaku contains high levels of mucopolysaccharides and intriguingly unique biopolymers, derived from the meristem of Mamaku. powerful bioactive healer soothes, cools and deeply moisturises the skin. Mamaku extract is revered for its ability to regenerate skin cells, encouraging cell renewal and repairing DNA strains. There is an immediate tightness felt when it is first applied to the skin, as the ingredient forms a structure of molecules that bind together to support the skin.
